More From Steve Jobs

Take for example providing a guide dog for a blind person. that's a good thing to do, right? all right. it is a good thing to do. but you have to think what else you could do with the resources. it costs about $40,000 to train a guide dog and train the recipient so that the guide dog can be an effective help to a blind person. it costs somewhere between 20 and $50 to cure a blind person in a developing country if they have trachoma. so you do the sums, and you could provide one guide dog for one blind american or you could cure between 400 and 2,000 people of blindness.
Country Dog Thinking
What is the purpose for which masonry exists? its ultimate purpose is the perfection of humanity. mankind it self is still in a period of youth. we are only now beginning to acquire a consciousness of the social aim of civilization, which is man's perfection. such perfection can never end with physical perfection, which is only the means to the end or spiritual perfection.
Spiritual Mean Men
I don't see perfection as far as a visual image of perfection. "perfection" to me is, i walk away from a situation and say, "i did everything i could do right there. there was nothing more that i could do." like, i worked as hard as i possibly could have. that's perfection.

I think that the best profession or the best thing to do is to be a public servant... i mean there's nothing better than working for the people - working for the common people out there and being a servant, a public servant, and i have seen this.
Mean Thinking People
My father was a writer, so i grew up writing and reading and i was really encouraged by him. i had some sort of gift and when it came time to try to find a publisher i had a little bit of an "in" because i had his agent i could turn to, to at least read my initial offerings when i was about 20. but the only problem was that they were just awful, they were just terrible stories and my agent, who ended up being my agent, was very, very sweet about it, but it took about four years until i actually had something worth trying to sell.
Sweet Father Reading
I fired a bunch of people and kind of went back to my roots. i fired my agent - i had this big, fancy agent and a big fancy manager and a big fancy lawyer - and i went back to my first agent and said, "i want to go back to just being an actor."

Learning Roots
We must cultivate and defend particularity, individuality, and irregularity-life. human beings do not have a future in the collectivism of bureaucratic states or in the mass society created by capitalism. every system, by virtue as much of its abstract nature as of its pretension to totality, is the enemy of life. as a forgotten spanish poet, josé moreno villa, put it with melancholy wit: "i have discovered in symmetry the root of much iniquity."
